>I might not perfectly remember what I wrote, but I absolutely remember where I wrote it. That's lost with digital notes.

Digital notes are searchable, so I'd say this is a very fair trade-off. If all my notes are .txt files in a "notes" directory, even if I don't recall which file I wrote my pizza order from last week in, I can grep them all for keywords like "pizza" to find it immediately. (I can also manage the notes with SyncThing to have them on multiple PCs/phones at once)

Maybe you are missing the point made?

For many people (and other animals), memory is tied to a specific place. The poster knows that the note they made is i.e.

red notebook on top shelf, page 12, top left corner.

Searching in digital notes doesn't give that same sense of place.

And the sense of place, plus the "path" that connects items in the space, is an important part of memory and learning.
